The Amanda Knox Case #48 - a podcast by SMP

What is the truth behind the conviction and subsequent exoneration of Amanda Knox for the Murder of Meredith Kercher?



Welcome to Solvable Mysteries Podcast, hosted by Juras Sim and co-hosted by Glenn Highcove.  In this episode we discuss the famous and controversial case of Amanda Knox, who was accused with her boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, of killing Amanda's roommate.  Knox's roommate, Meredith Kercher, was found locked in her room, with the rest of the apartment in disarray, and blood in different rooms.  Later analysis would trace much of the DNA evidence to Rudy Guede, a known burglar and casual acquaintance of Knox and her neighbors, but also someone they did not know well.



The subsequent investigation and trial was filled with controversy and irregularities, with the prosecution and investigation team positing wild theories on what happened to Meredith, concluding that she was killed in a strange love triangle/encounter gone wrong.  We discuss the many strange and questionable tactics the police took during this investigation and trial, the apparent violation of Amanda and Sollecito's rights and privacy, as well as the strange behavior of Amanda Knox during the entire period before, during and after her conviction.  We also review the latest Amanda Knox developments, including her subsequent appeal, exoneration, re-conviction, and final exoneration by the Italian justice system.  We think you will find this episode a Solvable Mystery to remember.
